On May 11, the company hosted the kick-off event for the historical society's World War II on the Home Front seasonal exhibit. This exhibit, a poignant reflection of local history, was a significant part of the event. Patrons had the opportunity to explore a mini-display featuring treasures from the&nbsp;Benzie Area Historical Museum during the event. The interactive experience allowed them to get a glimpse of what the museum has to offer and engage with museum's knowledgeable members, who were on hand to answer questions and share exciting plans for 2024. "Thanks to the incredible support of Stormcloud Brewing Company and the community, a generous donation of $1,100 was made to the Benzie Area Historical Society. This support is invaluable to us. It enables us to fulfill our mission of collecting, preserving, and interpreting Benzie County’s rich history. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity to be part of the Stormcloud Builds Community Program and for the unwavering support of our community,” Matt&nbsp;Varnum, executive director of the Benzie Area Historical Society, said. The&nbsp;Benzie Area Historical Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. To discover more about the&nbsp;Benzie Area Historical Society, visit <a href="https://www.benziemuseum.org" rel="nofollow"> benziemuseum.org </a> or call the museum at 231-882-5539.
